New Ferula of Leo XIV Removes Nails and Passion of Christ

On Palm Sunday, Leo XIV used again a ferula that features a risen Christ leaving the cross.

He has used it since 6 January 2026. On 9 January, the Office for the Liturgical Celebrations told VaticanNews.va that the cross "unites the mission of proclaiming the mystery of Christ on the cross with the glorious manifestation of the resurrection".

The ferula "presents Christ no longer bound by the nails of the Passion, but with his glorified body", according to the papal office.

And: "The Paschal Mystery thus becomes a source of hope for humanity because death no longer has any power over mankind since Christ redeemed everything he assumed."

This ferula is inconsistent with the truth of the Gospel. Jesus resurrected out of the tomb, not off of the cross.
On the cross he was absolutely, completely and utterly, dead. His crucifixion and death was the most through and through complete offering of His whole Self for us to God. It is the most awful and beautiful expression of love in the entire universe, and a continuing challenge to us who claim to 'love' like Him! Why shrink from showing His beautiful death to the whole world?

I haven't found any information, but that mural in the Augustinian Church in Iquitos looks like it could be the work of the depraved Marko Rupnik?
